Why do detox cleanses often make you feel worse instead of better? Also, what simple daily habits can support detox without extreme cleanses?

In this episode, my guest and I break down why detox fads are failing women over 40 and what detox actually means at a physiological level. I’m joined by Sinclair Kennally to explain how the liver, gut, bile flow, and hormones all work together. We reframe detox as a lifelong support system—not a quick fix—so your body can truly heal, thrive, and age powerfully.

Sinclair Kennally, CNHP, CNC is an award-winning detox expert and the founder and CEO of Detox Nation, where she helps people uncover the root causes of chronic illness. After nearly losing her life to mold and toxic overload, she turned her hard-won recovery into a mission to teach safe, sustainable detox that actually works.

What you’ll learn:

(35:41) Simple daily habits—like clean protein, healthy fats, and bile support—that make detox safer and more effective.
